i am not a fan of toyo tires, every time i drive someones car and think the tires arent very good, i get out and they are toyos.

i love the KDW2s for an all around tire. i heard there are 3s coming out.


btw , i drive A LOT of cars

 

What do you think about the PS2 summer tires for FI? Not sticky enough? They are relatively light for their size and corner well, but in cold weather, not much traction . Hoping summer brings an improvement (295R18)

 

of course it matters what you are doing with the car. we slide a lot of cars and of course straight line street and strip. getting more into the grip racing here lately and might even build a strickly Time Attack car like we have been planning on for a while. we will see.


to answer your questions, those tires dont hook for me in a straight line with over 500 enough to even tell you if i like them or not. i hate the looks of them though and all i have driven on are under 255 widths.

 

thats cause they probably had the T1rs....


you need to check this new tires

 

The best dry traction tire is the BFG T/A KD... I always ran these when I had street tires on my car, all these tires do is stick 295/30/18.

 

my buddy harry was running these, long ago before he built his more. I think he was pushing high in the 450+ range. if im not mistaken he ran 285 or 295. but he wouldn't get full traction till top of 2nd going into 3rd.

 

and are the T1Rs reallt that bad of a tire.

If so Jeremy you need to contact my mom asap, and her bring you the Z, so you and AJ can burn up hers and make her get some better tires.



But right now i run KDW2 on the hatch, but i only have fronts so not sure about cornering, but straight line they are dam nice. I mean even at only 7psi i broke them loose in 2nd. But i guess that cause my car is only 2600lbs

 

Did you guys read this?

Apparently these tires are prone to cracking at low temperatures. Something to be aware of.

Link was on the page buzzardmountain posted.

 

^^^ Thats not good...good thing we live in Florida. I use the Toyo T1R's and the traction is average at best. My 5AT can spin 1st, 2nd, and third on them.

 

of course that is the fastest 5AT in the world though so its not fair...

 

But still not fast enough

 

Zilva, +50 FD wheels are not going to work on my rears. I'll need a crazy spacer.

Right now my 19inch volks are +28 in the back and they come close to the calipers.

I have a secret though.

 

Will this be unveiled on the 9th?

 

poo, well i tried.


hope yo find out a set up..

 

I cant wait to see that thing down the strip. Or even better a drift course???

 

Sidewayz > straight line
